The Role of a Coronary Artery Calcium Scan in Type 1 Diabetes.
Burge MR, Eaton RP, Schade DS. Burge MR, et al. Diabetes Technol Ther. 2016 Sep;18(9):594-603. doi: 10.1089/dia.2016.0110. Epub 2016 Sep 1. Diabetes Technol Ther. 2016. PMID: 27585206 Free PMC article. Review.
This, in turn, is the basis for predicting a 10-15-year risk of a cardiovascular event. Individuals with a zero calcium score have a very low 10-year risk of a cardiovascular event. Obtaining a calcium score in a diab …
